Grammy nominated and multi-platinum selling band Daughtry have announced their 5th studio album ‘Cage to Rattle’, which is set for release on 27th July and is available for pre-order now. The anthemic first single “Deep End” is out now and fans who pre-order the album will receive “Deep End” as well as “Backbone” as an instant download.

“Deep End” was produced by Jacquire King (Niall Horan, Kings of Leon, James Bay) and co-written by Chris Daughtry.

“Cage to Rattle has been the most fun yet most challenging album we’ve ever made,” says Chris. “It’s a musical stew we’ve been cooking up for more than 2 years and we can’t wait to satisfy the appetites of our amazing fans who’ve been patiently waiting for this record!”

Jaquire King states, “the thought of working with Chris really intrigued me. Undoubtedly he’s truly a great singer and we took the opportunity to go on a creative journey with his band to find something new for them. The outcome will showcase new dimension and inspiration that hopefully shows new and old fans the evolution of an artist.”

Ones to watch! The Rocket Dolls have premiered their energised music video for new single ‘None Of This Is Right’.

The song is taken from The Rocket Doll’s forthcoming sophomore album ‘DeadHead’, which is released 6th April.

“HERE WE GO….The first song from the new album, and now the first music video is here… there’s no doubt about it, we wanted to come out swinging with ‘None Of This Is Right’, says vocalist/guitarist Nikki Smash. “We shot the music video in London on a giant arena stage as we really wanted to capture the energy of our live show. Luckily for us Orange Amps were kind enough to help out with the back line which really aided in capturing the essence of the band and this song. Working with Dave Neale from Brighton based Wildstag Studios was a real joy, he did a killer job for ‘None Of This Is Right’; it’s a great representation of The Rocket Dolls right here, right now.”

Recorded at London’s award winning British Grove Studios (David Gilmour, Razorlight, Mark Knopfler) the forthcoming album ‘DeadHead’ was produced and mixed by Mark Roberts (Black Peaks, Rob Chapman, Toska, Dorje). Relentless in their approach, The Rocket Dolls have taken the rock mould, smashed it, and then meticulously pieced it back together again to deliver a fresh contemporary collection of music that combines the best bits of heavy rock, grunge, punk, and pop smart sensibilities. It’s clear the band have spent time wisely crafting their second album, as it’s a monster.
